Friday Night is Dance Time Friday night in Central ' s cafeteria is not usually a time of peace. Most Fridays are highlighted by a dance sponsored by some organization here at school. Featuring live bands, the dances attracted huge crowds after ball games. On nights when the dance was the only school function, the crowds were even larger. Centralites enjoyed the excitement of being with friends at a dance, whether it was the Up setters, the Barons, or Lulu and the Supremes providing the entertainment. Teachers and parents were chaperones for the dances, while the students provided entertainment, refreshments, and good wholesome fun. Friday nights wouldn ' t be the same if the cafeteria wasn ' t bustling with the excitement of a dance after a game. Ten- sions of athletic events were lost in a maze at the dances. Chaperoning at the Spotlight Dance, ' Return to the 3 R ' s, ' are Mrs. Schoonover, Mr. and Mrs. Hamptom, and Mrs. Imbody.

Scholarly Students Honored At Banquet Mr. Paul Spuller gives a letter of commendation to Mr. Joseph Tucker at the annual Scholarship Banquet. He received the award for being an outstanding graduate. Scholars received well deserved acclaim at the Scholarship Banquet, held near the end of the school year. To attend the Ban- quet, a Central student must have made the six weeks honor roll or the Dean ' s List. Those who received special recognition were the members of the Four Year Honor Roll. Leadership and scholarship were characteristics of many of the attendants. Mr. Joseph Tucker, a Central graduate, was the main speaker for the affair. He expressed the value of education to the future world leaders. After his talk, principal Paul Spuller presented the Outstanding Alumni award to Mr. Tucker. The Scholarship Banquet replaced the National Honor Society at Central several years ago, and now it is an event to which every student would like to go. It puts an emphasis on the educational side of school. The salutatorian and valedictorian of the gradu- ating class held seats of honor at the treasured event. The Scholarship Banquet was attended by many parents, students, and teachers last spring. It is an annual affair to honor any student who has been on the honor roll during the year. The seniors who are on the Four Year Honor Roll are the special guests at the banquet. Here Mr. Yager and Mr. Dille talk with students and parents from their home- rooms. The banquet was in May.
